    NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Accra, Ghana- African Development Bank hosted first of its twice-yearly business opportunity seminars to provide information to potential partners and key stakeholders on its strategic priorities, procurement procedures, and to strengthen ties to private sector in all member countries.

    The seminar, held virtually as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, offered a one-stop shop for individual, consulting firms, civil contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, diplomatic commercial attachés from the Bank’s regional groups, non-regional members seeking to provide goods and services to the institutions.

    The e-BOS, organized by the Resource Mobilization and Partnerships Department (FIRM), enables the Bank, Africa’s primary development finance institution, to grow the pool of high-quality providers that compete for its projects. Tapping into this pool in turn boosts its own service delivery and achievement of its development initiatives.

    Participants included NEC Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation (Japan); Export Import Bank of India (India); Satellite firm Türksat and Demes Kablo (Turkey); Korea Overseas Infrastructure and Urban Development Corp (Korea); Water treatment firm Ion Exchange Safic (South Africa), ECG Engineering Consultants Group (Egypt); and consulting firm WSP (France), to name a few of the 290 entities that took part.

    “Thank you very much for this informative webinar held by an excellent moderator Ms. Valerie Dabady and brilliant panelists. I have learnt a lot and I hope to have the opportunity to attend many more and to identify business opportunities for Japanese companies in West Africa,” said Aissatou Ndiaye, a representative of the Japanese embassy in Senegal.

    The Bank’s Director of Resource Mobilization and Partnerships, Désiré Vencatachellum, made opening remarks, and Bank staffs outlined how the Bank’s strategic focus, as outlined by the so-called High 5 priorities, shape its procurement and contracting needs.

    In presentations, Bank staffs laid out six key sectors that offer opportunities for partners and suppliers: Agricultural Finance and Rural Development; Renewable Energy. Also, efficiency of Human Capital, Youth Skills, Development; Infrastructure, Cities and Urban Development, Financial Sector Development; and Industrial Trade Development.

    The seminar also enabled participants to contribute to the discussion around partnering and contracting with the Bank. Moulay Lahcen Ennahli, Senior Vice President, OCP Africa, provided insights into his company’s experience of working with the Bank. Participants also posed questions to the Bank’s staffs that reflected concerns about how the coronavirus pandemic might influence the institution’s strategic direction, tender processes and procurement pipeline.

    Since 2017, the Bank has held two business opportunity seminars each year, one in the Bank’s Abidjan headquarters and one in a regional member country. Tunisia, South Africa and Kenya have already hosted seminars which have drawn a total of 1,363 participants from the 55 member countries, with a 60:40 regional to non-regional ratio through the end of 2019. As of March 18th, the Bank has held all meetings virtually, as it seeks to continue delivering on its missions, despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

    Current Outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Disease- Coronavirus advisory information, World Health Organization & United States, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

    Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.

    Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people.  Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.

    Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.

    Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing. Source- WHO
